363- وبه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”رأس الكفر نحو المشرق، والفخر والخيلاء فى أهل الخيل والإبل الفدادين أهل الوبر، والسكينة فى أهل الغنم.“
And with this chain (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The head of disbelief is towards the east; pride and arrogance are among those who keep horses and camels, and loudness is among the Bedouins, while tranquility is among those who keep sheep."

Hadith Commentary:
The pinnacle of disbelief was stated to be in the East because, from the land of the Arabs, Iran and Turan are all situated to the east, and in that era, the kings of these regions were extremely arrogant.
The king of Iran had torn up the letter of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
Raj‘at is the belief of the Rafidah, by which is meant the belief that Ali (radi Allahu anhu) is alive in the clouds. When an Imam from his progeny will appear, he (Ali) will call out from the clouds, “O people! Go forth for jihad with him.” Clearly, this is a false and incorrect belief, which has no basis whatsoever.
Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) said: "Mā laqītu akdhab min Jābir al-Ju‘fī" — “I have not seen a greater liar than Jabir al-Ju‘fi.” (Fath al-Mulhim, vol. 1, p. 135).
